Design/File Questions
Does White count as a printing color?
No. White is not counted as a printing color due to the fact that this is the color of the paper in most cases.
What is the difference between 'coated' and 'uncoated' stock?
Uncoated stock is a rough type of paper and is usually less expensive. Usually used for newspapers. Coated stock has a smooth, glossy finish and will produce sharper looking text and graphics. This stock is also more expensive.
What does 4 over 4 (4/4) mean?
4 over 4 means full color on the front and back side of your print job.
What is the difference between 'spot color' and 'full color process'?
Spot colors are individual colors that can be assigned PMS (Pantone Matching System) numbers. Full color process uses a blend of colors to create colors, such as photographs.
What are the most common paper stocks used for postcards?
The 3 most popular stocks are: #100lb cover c2s, coated on 2 sides (most popular) - #100lb c1s, coated on 1 side (great for postcard mailing) - and, #12pt c2s, coated on 2 sides.
What are standard sizes for postcards?
Standard postcard sizes are 4"x6", 5"x7" and 5.5"x8.5". These sizes are ideal if you intend to use your postcards for mailing campaigns.
What does 'camera-ready' mean?
This means that your files are ready to go to press without any alterations, to your files, by our staff.
What is the difference between 'full bleed' and 'color bleed'?
Full bleed is mostly used for full color processing. When ink appears to fall off the edges of your print project, this is considered a full bleed. A color bleed is when two or more colors are adjacent to one another. This is usually the case with corporate identity logos and images.
Can I send you documents created in MS Word or PowerPoint?
Absolutely! If you have created documents in Word or PowerPoint that contain photos, clip-art, or other color images, send them in. Same great service, same great pricing.
.What other file formats can you take?
We can take any Mac or PC version of Quark, Pagemaker, InDesign, CorelDRAW!, Illustrator, Photoshop, Freehand, Publisher, Word, PowerPoint, any file output as a PDF or listed on our File Formats page.
If I'm sending a Publisher file, should I compress it with "Pack and Go," or should I just send the normal *.pub file?
While we can work with either type, we prefer to get the normal, uncompressed file. Please do not use Publisher's "Pack and Go" feature. If you are sending Publisher files with linked graphics (generally NOT recommended in Publisher), please gather all the associated files into a single Zipped file, and send us that. Compressing files with Winzip or PK Zip (or StuffIt on the Mac) is also the preferred method for Quark, Pagemaker, Illustrator, InDesign or any file with linked graphics. If you are using a font that is not included with Publisher, please send it along with your Publisher file. You can either Zip them together, or upload the font as an additional file upload (or include it on cd or zip-disk if you are sending files via mail.)
